Realtime-Rendering of Dynamic Scenes with Neural Radiance Fields
This paper addresses the challenge of real-time rendering of dynamic 3D scenes using Instant Neural Graphics Primitives (iNGP), training a separate radiance field for each frame. To enable interactive VR playback, efficient data storage and...
Experimental demonstration of robust spatial-diversity combining for coherent free-space optical transmission
Spatial-diversity schemes are applied to improve signal quality of coherent free-space optical transmission systems with uncorrelated phase noise. We compare the performance of conventional schemes (MRC, SDC) to a newly proposed one (X-MRC).
Space-Division Multiplexed Transmission from the Lab to the Field
Researchers from the University of L’Aquila, NICT, Finisar, Prysmian, Nokia Bell Lab and Fraunhofer HHI Space-Division Multiplexed Transmission technologies from the Lab to the Field and present a summary for their work in this invited...
Timebin-Phase BB84 Quantum Key Distribution Using Telecom-Wavelength Fiber-Coupled SPADs
Single-photon avalanche detectors (SPADs), which operate without cryogenic cooling, are a core component for practical QKD systems. We demonstrate 13-hour continuous key generation with our timebin-phase BB84 QKD system using our InGaAs/InP SPAD,...
